Welcome to the Darien Historical Society!
The Darien Historical Society hopes that you will visit us to tour our 1736 Bates-Scofield Home and to see our current exhibit in our 1827 Scofield Barn, Fashion Transformed ~ La Belle Époque to Moderne ~ 1900 to 1920. Fashion Transformedpresents seventeen elegant costumes in an exhibit that is very similar to one staged by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2007 that was called “Poiret: King of Fashion.” Costume Curator Babs White and her team of volunteers have put together a spectacular show that will offer Darien an incredible opportunity to enjoy the very best of what one of the world’s greatest museums has to offer... just a bit smaller, but right here in Darien!
